USE FOR OLD CURTAINS
If you have some old, unstarched muslin curtains —so old that you meditated throwing them away—soak thorn in paraffin (they must be soft, remember), then dry well, out of Avon. Keep in an old tin and use for dusting the furniture, which you will then find seldom needs polishing. Soak some old bits of clean blanket in hartshorn and use them to clean your silver thus you will go far on the road to avoiding the weekly “clean,” and all the paraphernalia of leathers, brushes, plate powders, etc.
